1. Know your symptoms: Almost everyone knows that chest pain and shortness of breath are symptoms of heart attacks.  But there are other symptoms that could also indicate a heart attack including pain or discomfort in the jaw, neck, or back; feeling weak, light-headed, or faint, and , discomfort in the arms or shoulders. Talk with your doctor about these symptoms and seek emergency care if you experience them.

2. Lose weight: Even if you are not significantly overweight, carrying extra fat around your middle is very bad. It raises blood pressure, adversely affects blood lipids, causes insulin resistance, and produces substances that inflame the arteries.

3. Exercise and being active: Regular activity and exercise have been proven to not only reduce our chances of heart disease but protect us from other conditions such as diabetes and high cholesterol.  Federal guidelines recommend that you get at least 30 to 60 minutes of moderately intense physical activity most days of the week. However, even shorter amounts offer heart benefits, so if you can’t meet those guidelines, don’t give up.

4. Try nutritional supplements: Supplements that contain the B vitamins, as well as vitamins C, E, and omega-3 fatty acids, can help to maintain normal cholesterol metabolism. Some nutrients—including L-carnitine, coenzyme Q10, and chromium—may help prevent and treat early heart disease. Discuss supplements with your healthcare provider.

5. Get your blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked: The higher your blood pressure, the shorter your life expectancy. High levels of cholesterol in the blood - produced by the liver from saturated fats - can lead to fatty deposits in your coronary arteries that increase your risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and diseases that affect the circulation.

6. Check your family history: If a close relative is at risk of developing coronary heart disease from smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lack of physical activity, obesity and diabetes, then you could be at risk too.

7. Increase your fibre: Fibre helps lower blood cholesterol and people who eat more fibre have a lower risk of heart disease.  Fibre is found only in plants - fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. Try to eat 25-35g fibre each day.

8. Chelation therapy: Good blood flow is essential for a healthy heart. EDTA chelation therapy can help your body clear the plaque deposits in your circulatory system and improve your heart’s health and efficiency.

This will be our last post for 2008. Thank you for taking the time to read the Cardio Renew blog.  We wish everyone a safe and happy new year!

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance found throughout your body including your bloodstream your body’s cells.  Cholesterol is an important part of a healthy body because it’s used for producing cell membranes and some hormones, and serves other needed bodily functions. There are two sources of cholesterol: your genes and the food you eat.  The majority of the cholesterol is produced by your body in the liver and other cells. Your genes determine how much your body produces, and sometimes it can be too much.  Food containing saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol contribute the amount of cholesterol flowing through your blood.

While some cholesterol is good and necessary to have, too much can have adverse affects on your circulatory system and your heart’s ability to pump blood efficiently.  High cholesterol occurs when there is a high concentration of the “bad” cholesterol LDL or a low concentration of HDL, which is the “good” cholesterol.  An unhealthy amount of LDL or too little HDL may lead to heart attacks, stroke, or peripheral artery disease (PAD).  Too much cholesterol builds up in your arteries and veins and sticks to other substances in your blood, like platelets, and harden, turning into plaque. This narrows the blood flow and can even block it.

Chelation therapy can help reduce cholesterol and increase blood flow. Cardio Renew offers 100% EDTA chelation therapy programs – get started today!

One of the best ways to improve and maintain a healthy heart is through a proper diet.  Foods that are low in saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium are in important part of that diet.  However, sometimes it can be challenging to know what those foods are when we are faced with so many choices.  The grocery store is where you’ll make a lot of those decisions, so it helps to go there armed with some knowledge.

With the exception of fresh produce and meat, the food label is where you’ll find the information you need to make smart decisions.  The Food and Drug Administration regulations the information that is presented - no manufacturer can say that their product is “low fat” or “low sodium” unless they can prove that claim.  The American Heart Association has a great webpage that shows how to read food labels to determine the saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium in the product.  Visit the American Heart Association now to learn how!

EDTA chelation therapy can also help you achieve a healthy heart.  Chelation therapy removes plaque buildup which increases your blood circulation. Learn more about the benefits of oral chelation therapy at Cardio Renew.

Cardio Renew is 100% pure liquid EDTA that will chelate calcium as well as other minerals and heavy metals out of your body resulting in clean arteries. By cleansing the veins and arteries, this increases blood flow. Blood provides your body (tissues, organs, nerves, etc.) with oxygen and nutrients. If your blood flow is restricted due to blockage, your body is not receiving the proper nourishment, which causes poor health conditions. Now, if you reduce the blockage and increase circulation, your body receives the proper blood rich in oxygen and nutrients which can allow it to recuperate, regenerate and operate normally once again.

EDTA Chelation Therapy has successfully been used to boost energy levels, improve memory & mental alertness, normalize blood pressure & cholesterol levels as well as help with heart conditions. The human heart starves for oxygen without adequate blood flow. Good circulation of the arteries and veins is vital in keeping a person’s heart healthy with the nutrients it needs to operate correctly for one’s body.

Message therapy, exercise and even saunas can also help improve your blood circulation.  Cardiovascular is the best form of exercise to help with your blood flow.  Running, biking, swimming and aerobics are just a few. Make sure to consult with your doctor if you’re about to take on a new exercise program.

U.S News and World Report posted a story today on the increasing popularity of Americans who are turning to alternative treatments for medical conditions.

“An estimated 38 percent of U.S. adults and 12 percent of children use some type of complementary and alternative medicine, a new U.S. government survey finds.”

“The most common supplements used by adults are fish oil/omega 3/DHA, glucosamine, echinacea, flaxseed oil or pills, and ginseng. The most popular alternative techniques are deep breathing exercises, meditation, chiropractic or osteopathic manipulation, massage and yoga, the survey found. Adults use CAM most often to treat pain, including back pain, neck pain or problems, joint pain, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions.”
